Chapter 1095 I Am The Standard

“Only one person can place first. If you want it, you've got to work hard!” Arissa did not discourage Jasper but

motivated him instead.

“It was just a casual remark, Mommy. Drawing is boring! Just let Jesse place first!” Indeed, Jasper did not have any

interest in drawing.

Every time the teacher told him to draw, he would feel indescribably turned off, mainly because his brain would go

blank, and he couldn't think of anything to draw.

It was always the same thing, for he could not draw anything complicated.

Arissa was struck speechless. He's pretty good at drawing. It's a shame that he isn't interested in it!

“Even if you find it boring, you have to work at it!” Sitting down beside Jasper, Benjamin supervised him.

Jasper glanced at his father. At once, he turned much more serious.

“Is mine okay, Mommy?” Tim had tried his best, but he did not know how to refine his drawing. Therefore, he put

that question to Arissa in a murmur.

Arissa took a look at his drawing and saw that it was very simple with lines alone.

“Yeah. You're incredible, too, Tim!”

Hugging him, she pecked him on the cheek. Although he did not know how to color, the lines were still beautiful.

Tim was beside himself with joy, his eyes sparkling brightly.

“Each of your drawings is beautiful in its own right.” Looking at the drawing, Benjamin ruffled Tim's hair.

“You draw better than I did in the past, Tim! I only knew how to doodle back then!” Jesse's dulcet voice was sweet,

putting others in a good mood.

“Really?” Tim was a tad diffident.

“Of course! Ask Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper if you don't believe me. They know, too!”

Jesse's eyes were limpid, and they sparkled in the light. She was so adorable that one could not take one's eyes off

her.

Following that, Jasper giggled. “It's true! You're really better than us! We'll show you our drawings in the past when

we get home, and you'll know after looking at them!”

Oliver bobbed his head as well. “You draw better than us!”

Training his eyes on Tim, Zachary assured, “You'll undoubtedly draw better than us after you've learned other

drawing methods!”

At the bout of encouragement, Tim's confidence doubled.

Arissa and Benjamin watched as the children interacted among themselves with their lips curved into a slight arc.

“You're all pretty good at drawing. As long as you put in the effort, you'll certainly do even better!” On the heels of

that, Arissa urged, “No matter what you do, you must be serious in order to do it well. You can't be half-hearted!”

“We know, Mommy!” all six children replied in unison, looking as docile as ever.

A gratified smile bloomed on Arissa's face. The children were still young, so she went easy on them.

However, the same could not be said of Benjamin. Compared to her, he was exceedingly strict.

“Not only do you have to bear your mommy's words in mind, but you must also put them into action. I'll be making

time to check your homework henceforth. I'll punish whoever doesn't complete it properly!”

The sextuplets stared at him wide-eyed and gulped.

Glancing at him, Zachary ventured in a whisper, “What's the punishment?”

“It depends on the situation.” Benjamin fixed his eyes on them.

The children looked at Gavin and asked, “Did he punish you in the past?”

Sneaking a look at his austere father, Gavin nodded. “Yeah.”

Zachary's lips twitched, for he remembered that Gavin had once told him about it.

“If you do your homework properly, I won't punish you.” Benjamin established his authority before the children to

avoid having them grow increasingly out of control in the future.

“What is considered proper?” Jasper asked, mustering his courage to save himself from being punished.

“That's true. There must be a standard!” Oliver looked at Benjamin as well. As long as we follow the standard, we'll

never get punished!

“I'm the standard!” Benjamin said.

The children were all dumbfounded.

“Isn't it going to be unfair for us if we've done it properly but you claim otherwise?” Zachary protested.

Benjamin shot him a glare. “Use me as the standard. You need to be able to do everything I was capable of doing at

your age!”

Arissa felt sorry for the children. “Don't you think you're demanding too much of them, Benjamin?”

Not every one of them is as smart as him. For one, Jesse can't do it. Tim might not necessarily be able to

accomplish it either.
